My Instruments:
- 1931 Gibson Kel Kroydon. Huber HR-30 ring. The maple and ebony neck is probably from the 50's. This is a fantastic banjo!
- Gibson RB-250; a 1974, mahogany neck, two piece flange: 100% stock. It records fantastically, sounds great up and down the neck, the 4th string growls, and the back-up leaps out of it.
- 2007 RK Deco King. I have #00000001. The prototype! Thank you to Greg Rich for the sponsorship and asking me!

I am a professional bluegrass banjo player and teacher. I grew up listening to Scruggs, Crowe, Stanley, & Hartford; to name only a few. I went through a big Bela Fleck phase. I play more Scruggsy stuff these days, but have a few melodic chops for fiddle tunes. I've recorded extensively and toured all over Canada and the U.S.
I have learned a lot over the years and always enjoy learning more. I remember how it feels to struggle through the initial learning process! I hope to hear from some of you. E-mail me at wheelhoss@gmail.com or
All the best to all the other banjo players out there!
